Louis Jaquet
Piazza San Marco II

1999

About the Item

Impressionist piece depicting the famous and ancient Carnivale in the Piazza di San Marco di Venezia. The scene is set before the iconic Basilica di San Marco, the chief basilica of Venice and the pride of the city. It is here that wealth from Venice's trading empire and many conquests would be displayed as a tribute to God and Christ as well as a testament to the power of Venetian Doges (dukes). Jaquet recreates this by adorning the entire basilica in actual gold. In this Catholic celebration of Carnivale, the city of Venice becomes an unrivalled scene of magic and pageantry as her people are transformed into innumerable characters of stories throughout the ages. The whole city is in engaged in revelry.

Shamrock III, 1903 America's Cup
Located in Greenwich, CT
Signed lower right The painting depicts Shamrock iii during the second race of the 1903 Americas Cup. With Clouds of spray flying from her bow and streaming a foaming wake astern Capt Bob Wringe is shown straining at the helm of Shamrock. Wringe draws every inch of speed from his charge as he valiantly gives chase to Reliance during the first leg of the race. Shamrocks well trained crew lie flat along the windward rail while others stand by at their stations ready to trim sails as required. This race was remarkable for the performance of her crew as they battled desperately to stay in touch with Reliance around the 30 mile course. Sir Thomas Lipton watches...
